This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper to the 3.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vm-convert-hpet-mmap-to-vm_iomap_memory-helper.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:46:39 -0700 Subject: vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The HPET case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent a trivial test-program for it).
